Today my oldest is turning 15 and as I reflect back where I was 15 years ago I am so thankful to where God has brought me. I can't believe what God has done in me and how he has turned my life around!!! What an amazing God we serve.
I was 20 going on 21 when I had Megan. My life up to this point had consisted of many wrong decisions and choices. I had married before I graduated high school, and in the same year that I married I divorced, graduated high school, and did drugs, crack, that I quit when I divorced. Which was only a God thing because without Him I would not have made it off of that stuff. I eventually moved out and into another bad situation and continued drinking among other thngs that I did not need to be doing. I was looking for love in all the wrong places; When I needed to run to Jesus and let him love me. I thought that if I did what the guys wanted they would like me, what a lie. I ended up feeling worse and worse. I found out I was pregnant and considered many options but thank God decided to keep Megan. Then from there my life just started getting better and better. I met Paul, and he came into my life at just the right time. We married when Megan was just 3 months old and he accepted her as his own and ended up adopting her. He is the true Dad in this case. Anyone can father a child it takes a man to be a Dad. God has taken one broken messed up woman and made me whole and complete. He has told me that I would forget the shame of my youth and as in the other blog "New Beginnigns" it has happened. He is an amazing God. I Love the Lord with all my heart, soul, mind and strength. I am still a work in progress and have not arrived by no means BUT I am most assuredly not the woman that I was. I have walked through many a dark nights of my soul BUT Joy does come in the morning.
